What are the hazards of forgetting to turn off the engine when refueling a car?
1 Answers
Forgetting to turn off the engine when refueling a car poses certain safety risks. When the vehicle is not turned off, all electrical equipment remains operational, and the engine continues to run at high temperatures. If there is an electrical leakage, it could potentially spark and cause a fire or explosion. Therefore, it is essential to remember to turn off the engine and power when refueling, and only restart the vehicle after the fuel cap is securely closed. Precautions for refueling include: 1. Avoid filling the tank to full capacity when driving in urban areas; 2. Do not wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel; 3. Avoid making phone calls or using mobile phones while refueling; 4. Do not use open flames inside the gas station; 5. It is prohibited to carry hazardous materials.
